    I mean I’d rather Trump live long enough to be convicted, imprisoned (ideally by having alligator Alcatraz repurposed as a prison for convicted former presidents), have his name stripped off everything he’s put it on in disgust, and have even MAGA reject him before he finally goes the way of all men in some suitably painful medical fashion. But that seems unlikely to occur.

    Next Dem POTUS does need to use every power and immunity granted by SCOTUS to it’s fullest before being a sacrificial lamb and getting impeached, then passing laws to prevent thta from ever happening again. Anything important that is held together by “norms” or by “no one would do that” needs to be codified into law explicitly.

      There’s no one in power willing to actually convict any of these people. Ultimately their crimes as politicians is that they intentionally do not serve the will of the American people or even their voting base. And if you use that as a guideline to inform who should serve prison time it includes Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Clinton and a host of other powerful Democratic politicians.

      That whole generation is a lost cause. Let nature usher them out ASAP.
